Bringing Sexy Back

Earotica Music Co-Op Opens

You wouldn’t be caught dead in an erotic store, even with an Ugly Bag on your head.

But you’ll proudly be spotted at Earotica, the new shop-in-shop at Dolly Python, owned by Bucks Burnett, a music collector who has been in the record biz for decades and rubbed elbows with the likes of Jimmy Page, Bob Dylan, and the Talking Heads.

The microindie music store is jam-packed to the ceiling (literally) with LPs, CDs, and even 8-tracks he’s scored over the years. Most of his mix is good ol’ rock and roll from the ’60s and ’70s, but he has a hefty selection of country albums, too.

A softy for vinyls, the hippie will even buy your oldies but goodies to add to his growing stash.

Because that’s just the kind of thing that turns him on.

Earotica, at Dolly Python, 1916 North Haskell Avenue (214-887-3434).
